doomsday-y

adj. It’s-the-end-of-the-world-ish. Oh the humanity-type substance!

Real citation: “We're a RICH Argentina for the moment, which is different. I hate to be all doomsday-y, but we have ceded our economic independence in many ways, and it's just a matter of time before we have to pay the price, whatever that will be. I know it's in other country's interests to keep the goods (and financing) flowing into the US and money flowing out, but it can't go on forever.”

Made-up citation: “What do you get your revelation-loving, apocalypse-licking, doomsday-y daughter when the pet store is plumb out of seven-headed hamsters? Try Atom-smasher Barbie—for girls who want to go shopping AND suck the world into hell.”
